Why was credence clearwater revival banned from lodi ca?

Creedence Clearwater Revival was famously banned from Lodi, California, after a concert in 1970 where lead singer John Fogerty made a tongue-in-cheek comment about the city. The band had a hit song titled "Lodi," which depicted the struggles of a musician stuck in a small town. After the performance, local authorities took offense to Fogerty's remarks, leading to the ban, although it was more of a humorous footnote in the band's history rather than a serious prohibition.
